be present, and went to City Hall and at
tempted TO make his way into the Chamber.
The approaches. however, were so crowded

through and was compelled TO abandon the
attempt
great deal Of indignation was manifest
ed over the failure Of Mr. Blaine TO obtain
admission TO the Council Chamber today dur
Ing the presentation Of the freedom Of the
city to Carnegie. 1t appears the occurrence
was brought about by official lack Of tact
Mr.. Blaine and Senator Hale arrived half an
hour late. All approaches to the Council
Chamber were crowded. The visitors had a
hard time reaching the door. When they
got there they found they were without tick
cts. The ianitor did not know them, and
would not pass them in. Carnegie was de
livering an address. Mr.. Blaine sent a mes
sage to the provost stating the situation. The
provost waited until Carnegie had finished
before sending orders for the admission Of
the distinguished Americans. BY this time
Mr.. Blaine and Senator Hale had become
dsgusted and had retired. Carnegie when
he learned what had happened, became very
angry, and would scarcely listen 10 the pro-

authority had also told them that the opinion
OF the educated classes on the question was
only distinguished by self-sulfciency and
shallOwness. SO long as the Liberal Union
lists were supported by the thinking and eul-

who contended that the will Of the majority

they were stigmatized as the associates Of

value 10 intelligent Englishmen than that Of
America. II was absurd 10 assert that nine
tenths Of the educated people Of America
were not on the side Of Ireland. Unques-

could not always be deceived By the bogy Of

Gladstonians daily gaining, and the pro-
